 Dawson was put in the box for the New Ravens yesterday and the Waterburys had no trouble in hitting. He was. pounded all over the field. He showed that whatever curves he may have he lacks head work and command of the ball. Murphy caught him, and to say that he caught good game would be putting it rather mild. Dawson seemed to lack all command of the ball. Murphy must have been pretty well played out after the game. It was an utter impos- sibility for Murphy to throw anybody out at second base, for whenever runner got to first base Dawson would pitch the ball mo- where near where Murphy motioned for it to come. Many were the praises that Murphy received from the spectators.
 The crowd which had assembled to see the game was the largest of the season. There were between 2, 800 and 3, ,000 people present. Shortly before four o'clock John l.. Sullivan and Pat Sheedy and two others arrived in a hack. The grand stand was packed with people and those who came late were unable to gain admission.
 At four o'clock Sullivan donned "Jack" Leary's little cap and called "play ball" As John L. took his position the crowd cheered. Burns was the first man to the bat for the home team He batted fly over the third baseman's head and Petit ran for it, but he muffed it. Then, like the good little base runner that he is, he stole around to third and Troys base hit brought him in. Helfer was hit by the pitcher. On Crowley's put out at first and passed ball Troy scored. Brill batted the ball to Petit and he threw it straight to Richmond, who muffed, and Heller scored. Brill was left on the base, however.
 In the second inning, when the score stood 8 to O, Waterbury began piling up runs. On singles by Hamilton, Guehrer and Petit, and doubles by Wheeler and Weir, and wild throw te first base by Dawsen, five runs were scored. The way that Dawson was being pounded did not seem to suit the spectators.
 In the next inning Water bury made three more runs on Campions single and Richmond's double, a wild throw by Brill, and dropped fly by Burns. This error by Burns was wholly excusable. He was running hard for the fly, and just as he got nearly under it the Water bury s mascot dog ran between his legs and tripped him. This was certainly hard luck.
 The Waterburys made another run in the next inning on wild throw by Friss, which gave Pettit his third base, he coming home on put out.
 The New Ravens were blanked until the fifth inning when the score stood to 3. Dawson got his base on balls, and Burns im- mediately followed with three-base hit, amid the cheers of the spectators. Dawson scored, and Burns afterward came home on a put out.
 In the next inning the New Ravens got two more runs on singles by Crowley and Brill, both coming home on passed ball.
 In the seventh inning the Water5urys still had their eyes on the ball and on singles by Hamilton, Campion, Staltz, Richmond and Wheeler four runs were scored.
 I've more runs were scored by New Haven in the eighth inning on single by Brill, a base on balls to Murphy, two steals, passed ball and error by Richmond. The last run was earned in the ninth inning on single by Troy. He stole second and scored on Helfer's base hit after two men were out.
 The Waterburys did not play their half of the last inning, for they were ahead.
